It's to keep the exposed surface from drying out.

Most people do it with a plastic wrap which they then throw away and polite the environment with.

..polite the environment..

Do they give it a sincere "Good day to you!"?

[–] protist@mander.xyz 22 points 4 months ago

Give the environment a little plastic present, as a treat

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

On one hand, the plastic one works. This one doesn't.

On the other wand, there's that entire politeness problem.

I use lids and plates to cover up food in the fridge all the time, why wouldn't it work as well as plastic wrap?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because it's not covering up the surface of the fruit. There's plenty of space for air to circulate there.

...it circulates much less now lol

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

Just got to have a wand like Bellatrix Lestrange's then.

No politeness there..
